SciFi and Fantasy Art Carousel Unicorn by Jill Johansen

I decided it was too long without a real picture, so....

Part 2 of my fantasy carousel mounts series (there will eventually be 12, for a calendar, but it will probably take a while). He is largely inspired by the Unicorn Tapestries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, specifically the final 'captive' tapestry. I borrowed the collar and chain from that, and tried to fit the saddle and bridle's decorations with it. He's quite a bit more muscular than the unicorn in the tapestries, though. :p

I'm pretty happy with it, white is a tricky colour to work with.
